Re: ...mud, mud, glorious mud (none / 1)

Swedish-speaking Finns are very fond of their drinking songs, especially in the presence of akvavit of any kind. I use the mud song as my contribution. Or then the Bernard Miles song that begins "Where be that blackbird now...". I've had them all joining in enthusiastically on the frequent curse words.

You can't be me, I'm taken
